Welcome to our Farmhouse Bed and breakfast near Keswick
Welcome to Bassenthwaite Hall Farm, our farmhouse in Bassenthwaite, at the foot of Skiddaw, near Keswick in the beautiful Lake District. This excellent Bed & Breakfast accommodation is fully modernised whilst retaining its olde worlde character, The house has many antiques, and pretty, interesting, china pieces. Our main claim to fame are our "Indian Runner ducks" which wander freely too and fro from farm to stream. They cause much interest, especially the newly hatched ducklings, which we hatch out periodically. Wwe also have a herd of limousin cattle, so there is often a new-born calf around to see.
